* BaitAndSwitch: In "Tango de la Muerte":--> '''Coach''': As your wise but alcoholic dance coach, I know that somewhere your father is looking down on you and smiling. Oh, there he is!\\''(coach waves from balcony)''

* DirtyCommunists: Referenced:--> '''Lisa''': But my parents are counting on seeing me dance. And I've worked ever so hard.\\'''Vicki''': I'm sorry, Lisa, but giving everyone an equal part when they're clearly not equal is called what again, class?\\'''Girls''': Communism!\\'''Vicki''': That's right. And I didn't tap all those Morse code messages to the Allies till my shoes filled with blood just to roll out the welcome mat for the Reds.

* TrickedOutShoes: Lisa tries to perform in her class's recital with a pair of automatic self-tapping shoes. Unfortunately, they were designed by [[BunglingInvetor Professor Frink]] and end up going haywire. * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Homer's laser eye subplot stopped with him blinded by his eye crust and taken to the liquor store by Dolph, Jimbo, and Kearney (with Kearney driving and pretending to be Marge). It's never brought up again nor do viewers see what happened when Homer tried to buy Jack Daniels and cigarettes for the trio. Also, it's never explained how Bart & Milhouse got out of the mall, since the plot disappears after the puma eats the ball.
